I bought a reconditioned model. I've bought reconditioned items before, but this saw was USED. It looks like someone literally dragged this thing down the road...upside down. I'm ok with "blemishes" but this was scraped and worn so bad that half of one of the screws on the motor housing is worn down in half. Clearly no one ever removed the motor housing to check the motor and bearings when it was "reconditioned". If I wanted a used saw, I would have saved some money and gone to [@]. Otherwise, the saw works well. I'm glad I got the 12" over the 10" due to the greater cutting depth. I can almost cut a 6x6 with this saw. Adjustment features on the front are also easy to use. The clamping feature is a bit lame, but works well enough for light trim pieces.

I have waited a few weeks to review. I am glad to report, that I cannot find any flaws with this saw. I bought the re-conditioned model because of the savings and the factory warranty. I wouldn't be able to tell if this saw was shipped new to me. Great performance, easy to use...has saved me time from my old saw. Exactly what I was hoping this saw would be! I am expecting many years of service out of this saw.

I tried them all this is the most accurate of all the major brands. It slides smoothly the table moves very easily (especially considering how big this thing is)The detents are dead on. [...]The manual was very clear on how to make the adjustments and it didn't take very long. The saw takes up quite a bit of room. 26" behind the fence, but it looks to be built to last and as I said it had the least deviation at full draw. I will trade durability and accuracy for a little space any day.

Fast shipping, all parts were included in the box. Checked the settings on the blade and detents and didn't have to adjust anything. The blade is good for being stock, seems to have plenty of power. The Bosch 5312 has good build quality, I'm expecting to get many years of service from it. Overall great experience with CPO.

I am a commercial trim carpenter, so i have to have tools that preform the same day in and day out, this saw does exactly that. I have had this saw now for alittle over a week and it already has about 7,000 bd. ft. of trim that has been cut on it. It came out of the box only needing a minor adjustment to the fence, something a d.i.yer would have been fine with. The only thing that i would change about this saw would be to add a permenant adjustable laser that you can turn on and off with a smaller rocker switch( much like the ones that are offered by dewalt and hitachi on there saws). I would give this saw an A+ for all of the features that it has, and will recommend it to others that want to know my thoughts on it.

I'm remodeling a 100+ year old farmhouse with all of the non sqaure and plumb issues that go with it. This saw powers through all of the cuts and the micro adjust makes it a simple matter to get the odd angles correct for a great finished look. The up-front controls make adjustments a snap.

I bought this as an upgrade from a single bevel 12" miter saw. The slide operation on this Bosch will increase my uses considerably.

The best feature is the indent over-ride. Now when I need an angle that is 44 degrees, I don't have to worry about the adjuster slipping into the 45 degree indent. This is critical when you are installing crown mldg in corners that aren't quite 90 degrees (and very few are).

I installed a laser - wish this model had come with one. But other than that, I love everything about this saw. The up-front bevel controls are great.

I'm still getting used to this new saw, but so far the results have been amazing. I have always prided myself on being able to cut beautiful joints, even with my old saw. But this saw makes cutting perfect joints so much easier.

I knew that I wanted up front controls the first time I heard about them. Now that I have used them I can tell you this is the fastest and easiest chop saw I have ever used. This saw has fine tuning adjustments that are easy to use and find,so that saw can be easily set to true zero-square in the field.(owners manual has instructions on how,which is a rare forethought) The trigger handle has a left and right safety button,so you don't have to contort your hand all weird to use either way. Also It works Friggin awesome!

After reading reviews and checking out various double bevel, sliding, miter saws I chose the 12" Bosch. It has performed better than expected. Setup was easy so I was working soon after opening the box; calibration was easy and almost unnecessary. It is definately a great saw.

Very happy with this saw. I purchased this and a reconditioned table saw. I ordered it one morning and both arrived the next morning with free shipping. Both saws look like they are brand new. Wonderful company. Buying here saved me about 450 dollars compaired to going to a retail store.

Saw is easy to use, and is very accurate. Everything operates very smoothly, and the upfront controls are great.

It's a little heavy I guess, but what can you expect with a saw this big. The dual handles make this not that big of an issue.

The first saw I received had been damaged in shipping, however when I called CPO to let them know I had received a damaged product, they immediately shipped out a replacement. I was very happy with their customer service!!

Can use this to miter flooring and base board, quarter round, etc. Can think of a lot of other uses - deck, build a shed and finish the basement. Can build stuff for closets to better organize and this say will make all the cuts! Nice saw - nothing to compromise - got it all with this one for a great price. Got the T4B stand and this is totally portable and mobile - easy to set up - very quick. Little mess with wet/dry vac. connection. Sharp and all calibrated - out of the box!

This is a top notch professional dual miter saw. My only con on dangerous end cuts refers to the fact that the adjustable fence system is such that small pieces cut off of end stock can become projectiles because of the gaps in the fence. This is a necessary evil because of all the crazy angles this saw is capable of and how the fences can be moved out of the way. Make sure to have a backer or clamp on the off cut. We're cutting 1/8th thick aluminum angle with this saw and it cuts like basswood. No problem with power! Most of our power tools are BOSCH and this is because they stand firmly behind their products that last. Even when something does break (not very often) their service centers fix it fast and fix it to last.

After receiving this product, I don't see myself purchasing new again unless it costs less than a CPO. All the items I ordered look like they came off the factory production line. Also, how can you beat free shipping on a saw that weighs around 70 lbs.

I couldn't be happier. Sliding mechanism is a must for anyone considering a new miter saw. The double bevel is just a great feature to have. I never realized how handy it really is until about 2-3 hours after starting the moudeling of my basement baseboards.

I bought this saw as a replacement for a cheaper, smaller miter / chop type saw. What a wonderful difference. The stand came with in the deal. i cut a lot of rough cut lumber and the saw has no problems with thicker, wide lumber. i use my table saw less now that i have a tool that gives a straight square cut. The up front controls and locks for same are great. The mobile stand came with the deal and is not difficult to assemble, makes sense to operate and should be a must for anyone doing work in the 'field'. My shop is small so everything needs to be mobile....i love it.

The saw's safety features are great. The support extensions on the are wonderfully long and sturdy. The stops on them leave a little to be desired however. Mine are not square to the saw blade. The dust bag in pretty non-functional. i have not had to empty it once since i bought the saw.

All and all i love my saw and stand. It was a hard financial decision but very glad i chose this saw, the stand is a must for traveling contractors or those with a small shop.

I like the product thus far. The only faults I have found pertain to the depth stop. Although a wrench is provided for other, infrequently-made adjustments, none is provided for the lock nuts used to adjust the depth stop. (It's 14mm). Also, the depth stop should have a larger range, allowing one to stop the depth virtually at the maximum cut possible (e.g., a 2 x 6 positioned vertically). Concerning the weight, it IS portable, and the weight is probably needed for good accuracy and function, but you don't want to have to carry it far.

I use this saw as a professional carpenter and contractor and love it. The only fault I've found is that it doesn't have a lock position to drop into at 0 degrees. Other than that, I have found no faults with it. Oh, and my girlfriend/apprentice finds it a little bit heavy to push into the front of the truck bed but otherwise she loves it too!

Using the saw for a variety of projects. Required bevel adjustment prior to use, but instructions for doing so were clear. Disappointed that one of the adjustment tools was missing. Dust control is laughable.

I have used the saw to make a few benches and some garden planters. The pro's, great power, accurate, was ready to use and true out of the box. It cuts great even with the factory blade. The slide mechanism is smooooooth and can be adjusted for amount of pull required.The downside, this saw is big and heavy. I like the heavy but don't expect to just throw it up on your workbench, it takes up considerable rear room. My biggest complaint is the dust collection, I have used it quite a bit and have no sawdust collected in the cheap bag. I am going to try to hook up my shop-vac to it to see if that helps, if not I will have to jury rig something up.Overall GREAT saw you won't be disappointed unless you are expecting an easily portable compact saw.

The saw arrived with a few minor use marks no concerns work like new. This saw is a bit heavy, with front controls and plenty of power it is a winner for sure. It's the topical Bosch tool the just make great tools. It had one broken plastic part, CPO service were top notch connected me with Bosch. Bosch expressed the part no questions. CPO knocks it out of the ball park with the reconditioned tools and prices!! Keep it up CPO.
